Discrimination that I don't face as a married woman. Sheila Nevins and HBO for making this film have a broadcast and a home on Cinemax later this year. To my husband Matthew Syrett, who took care of our children and held down a full-time job so that we could make this film. And to our incredible team in New York, thank you so much."

Roth said, "And to all our supporters and families who believe that even a 38-minute movie could change minds and lives, and our children who remind us about what's really important. And to Stacie, who's here tonight, who's really auto mechanic by day but hero in life who always did what was right. And she's here tonight. So thank you so much."

ACHIEVEMENT IN CINEMATOGRAPHY - for Robert Elswit There Will Be Blood.

And David Crank and Dylan Tichenor. Really belongs to Paul. That this is his imagination and his energy and his extraordinary vision. It sort of enabled us to create the world. We're really all standing on the shoulders, we know this, of Daniel Day-Lewis."

It's been an amazing thing. Thanks for taking this film seriously, thanks to the Academy, thanks to all the people who've helped us."
